Shopping Fool

Matty is a fantastic child--he really, really is and we realize and whole-heartedly appreciate it. On Friday morning, the two of us left the house at 7am to meet up with Aunt Susie to go Christmas shopping and returned at 5:45pm. It was a full day and Matty was a super trooper! He was amazing throughout all of the stores, dealing with obnoxious salespeople, dancing to the Christmas music, and enjoying the scenery. He waited patiently with Pop outside some crowded stores while I made purchases, picked out presents, smiled and clapped for people in line, and generally enjoyed the day. We even weathered two very, very, very dirty diapers that didn't phase him at all.

So, thank you Matty. I'll make sure to tell Santa that you have been one outstandingly good boy this year. :-)
